THE MISSION.
WHY I CREATED
SOLACE.
We need nature now more than ever.
I’ve always found myself in the mountains. Not really chasing views — it’s the quiet that keeps pulling me back. Everything slows down up there. Things make more sense, or at least they feel like they do. Over time, I started taking photos, just to hold on to those moments before they slipped away again.
But this isn’t just about putting mountains into a book. These places aren’t untouched, even if they still feel that way when you’re standing in them. They’re changing, and not slowly either. It’s easy to ignore that when you’re only passing through.
We take what we need from nature all the time, and then carry on. Giving something back isn’t the norm, even though it should be.
This book is part of that shift for me. It’s not a fix, it’s a start.
SOLACE is the first larger piece of my project, atmoshepherd. It shares these places, but it also asks you to stay with them for a second longer. Pay attention. Don’t just move on.
We need nature more than ever. I’ve always found myself in the mountains — not for the views, but for the quiet. Things feel clearer, even if just for a moment.
Over time, I started taking photos to hold onto those moments. That became SOLACE. Not just a collection of mountains, but a reminder that these places aren’t untouched. They’re changing, often faster than we notice.
We take so much from nature, and rarely give anything back. This book is my way of starting to change that.
SOLACE is the first part of atmoshepherd. It shares these places, but more importantly, it asks you to stay a little longer.
